A Sensational Preacher in Washington
Denounccs the Anarchist md is Bolster
Ousiy Applauded.
A Dispatch from Washington D. G
says: An unusual scene occurred at the
Metropolitan NJ. E. Church, when the
Rev. John P. Newman, in sermon on
"Infdelity," referred in severe terms to
the Anarchists. 'tCould any American
Citizen" he said, ''ten years ago have
imagined the circulation of a petition
to pardon those whose hands afe red
with blood of the defenders of public
peace and safety? What is back of this
anarchy, this dare devil movement on
the pait Of those villains who ought to
have been hanged long agol"
At this point many of the audience
rose 10 their feet, clappcd their hands
and with loud demonstrations announced
their approval of the minister's words.
The Rev. DR.. Joseph Parker, Of the
City Temple, London, who is to pro
nounce the culogy on Henry Ward Bee
Cher in the Brooklyn Academy of Music
on Monday night, preached in Plymouth
Church, brooklyn, in the Pulpit where
his friends had stood for forty years.
His subject was "Not here, but risen. "
The sermon, which was delivered with
out manuscript, was largely memoriil
discourse, several sympathetic refercn-
ces being made to the dt ad pastor Tel
egrams were received by DIR. Parker,
white he was in the pulpit, from his peo-
pie in London, sending their good wish

Old Shoes aMorked Over.o

One OF the curious industries Of New
York is the rehabilitation of old shoes,
the cast-off kind gathered from the ash
heaps and refuge of the streets. A regu-
lar market for these is found in the cob
blers' Easements along Baxter and Null
berry streets-more particularly in the
region known as "The Bend" This re-
jected stock is worked over by the shoe
makers, mendcd and patched so as TO be
water tight, and then blacked to the
brilliancy of stove polish. Long rows
of them may be seen displayed on the
boards in front of the cobbler shops in
'The Bend" glistening in the moonday
sun with dazzling brightness. A small
boy, generally one Of the scions of the
paternal son of Crispin, stands at their
side in the double character of guardian
or salesman, though the former duty is
often discharged by the oscillating sales
man in charge of the stock of cheap
clothing on the floor above, who halloos
down The basement to the proprietor
whenever would-be customer for the
shoes stops to make an investment.
Prices for this strange merchandise range
from seventy-five cents up to $3.50 a
pair. There must be a market for il, or
it wouldn't be produced. Its existence
shows how many poor fellows are ''down
on their luckp and compelled to buy
such goods Brooklyn Citizen.

The case of James Cline, young
burglar who was shot in the head re-
Gently in New York, who was taken to
hospital, has become interesting to the
doctors. When he was taken to the
hospital his whole right side was para
lyzed. The paralysis first disappeared
from the face. 1t was thought that he
could not live, bat in hope Of saving his
life the operation Of trephining was per-
formed Three torn arteries in the brain
were tied up, but the bullet which had
entered the left side Of the head near the
top, could not be found without en-
dangcring the patients life. After the
operation the paralysis seemed to leave
The right leg. but soon returned. Now
he IS gradually regaining control Of his
leg and arm. II was found that the
power Of speech had also left him. This
Is attributed to the fact that that part Of
inc brain which usually appears to con-
troll the vocal organs was entirely blown
away or badly lacerated. Cline, the
doctors say, will remain speechless until
some other part Of the brain learns 10

1.-THE recent attempt made by some
French aeronauts to reach great height
above the earth has not been productive
of any particular scientific results" says
the London Spectator. 1.-The balloon in
which the ascent was made reached an
altitude of over 90, 900 feet without the
occupants of the car experiencing any i'll
effects, except tendency to faintness on
the part of one Of them. When about
twelve years ago similar attempt was
made, and the height of 5000 feet was
reached, it was with fatal results to three
out of the four aeronauts. The success
of the present experiment is explained
by the allegation that the difficulties due
to the rarefaction of the atmosphere
only begin at an altitude of 23, 900 or
"a, 900 feet. This view seems supported
by the fact that in the Himalayas and
the Andes heights of about 10000 feet
have been on several occasions reached
without any Inconvenience. In such
cases, however, the ascent has always
been gradual The ill effects experienced
in balloons are possibly due to the sud-
denness of the change"
